DeVito Gets First Crack at Makin' Whoopi on "View"

Danny DevitoTMZ has exclusively learned that the first guest on the season premiere of "The View" will be none other than that limoncello-swillin' fluffer-lover himself, Danny DeVito.

DeVito will be visiting the new "View" on Sept. 4, which will also be Whoopi Goldberg's first day in the moderator's seat. His last appearance, of course, followed a night of boozy debauchery (and seven limoncellos) with pal George Clooney, and led to one of the more classically nonsensical talk-show-guest appearances in recent history, full of Three Stooges references and plenty of bleeped-out banter.

Of course, DeVito made out pretty well after his limonization -- he ended up starting his own line of limoncellos this year, called Danny DeVito's Premium Limoncello. No word on whether the green room will be stocked with the tart beverage.

We're also told that "The View's" first week will include appearances by Clive Owen, Regis Philbin, Larry David, and Rachael Ray.

31. You're all acting like he's the new co-host. Thank God he's not. And Whoopi isn't liberal like she once was. She said it herself a few months ago when Barbara Walters assumed it- like she does alot of things.

33. WHATEVER THEIR VIEWS, COMMENTATORS HAVE THE BEST JOBS IN THE WORLD. WHO WOULDN'T WANT TO GET PAID BIG $$$ JUST FOR SPOUTING OFF? WE ALL GOT OPINIONS AND IT'S PRETTY HARD TO EVEN GET YOUR CAT TO LISTEN MUCH LESS A PAYCHECK FOR IT. OBVIOUSLY THE PUBLIC CARES WHAT THESE PEOPLE HAVE TO SAY OR THEY WOULDN'T HAVE A JOB. I SHOULD BE SO LUCKY.....

34. This is why I spent 21 years in the US Navy so we all can speak our opinions. It is peaple like Danny and Whoopi that make the world go around. I love them both.

I'm surprised Danny Devito was invited back after his last appearance. He made a fool of himself. I like Whoopie. She's intelligent and funny. I wish the gals on The View would speak more clearly. They speak so fast, and so many times two are speaking at one time. Someone needs to help them. I'm available!

37. Who gives a Rats arse about The View, it died the day Rosie quit,
however negative some feel about her I for one never watched The View until she came on.
Her Donald Trump impressions were hysterical!!! Rosie and Joy complimented one another,both being stand-up comics.... mmm it had its highest ratings ever last season with Rosie as first chair. Elisabeth Hassleback,squealed in her Miss Prissy high pitched voice that can drive one to to punch her dead square in the face to shut her lipglossed GOB up.
I like Whoopie, and Danny DeVito was hysterical I saw the show the day in question here on these blogs, he was honest said he had been out drinking all night and was still drunk ABC/Barbara Waters knew it too but yet still let him go on, hense, RATINGS....Hasnt every single negative comment person on here got drunk and acted simple??? mmmm I think so, I know I have, hes human get over it!!! By the way hes a great comedic actor. To make fun of someone, their looks,body type,height, hairy, etc how dare any of you judge another human being.....have you walked in that person's shoes, experienced that person's life??? Don't think so......... Last I heard God/Goddess sits on the throne of judgement and never gets up, since when did he get off his throne and allow you toto sit in it and cast judgements?

I THOUGHT THAT BARBARA WALTERS WAS THE MODERATOR? IS THIS NOT TRUE OR HAS IT RECENTLY CHANGED?

40. I love Danny Devito, thought he was so real when he was just a tad bit drunk....nothing serious at least listening to a drunk Devito is better than having to listen to shrill mouth, uneduated, no manners, Elizabeth.

However, no matter who they have on this show, it is over and done with. No Rosie, no show. I have not and will not watched The View since Rosie left.

41. I think he's sorta cute.

42. I haven't watched THE VIEW since Rosie left and the one day Ross the Intern co-hosted...who can follow any of it with all of them talking at once? Blah, blah, blah...I miss Joy, but that's it...and Elisabeth who?

43. Whoopi and Danny. Sounds like a liberal's dream combo! When are we going to have more of Elizabeth? Thats what the show needs. A Rush or Hannity type would top the charts and get me watching.

44. Elisabeth Hasslebeck is SOOOOO HOT. Since she got pregnant, she is just glowing. She has gained weight in all the right places......best legs on morning talk show tv. I just use the mute button when she speaks though.
